Asset Refinancing
in a nutshell

Asset refinancing allows lenders to reflect on what equity is available in a certain item (equipment, machinery, vehicles, etc.) that is already owned by the borrower and derive a loan to value (LTV) against the said item. Ideally, you would have an unencumbered asset which would allow for a cleaner transaction however you are still able to refinance an asset if there is existing financing on the asset.

For example, if you purchased equipment on a hire purchase agreement and still have an outstanding balance, you can still raise finance against this (partially owned) asset. The new lender will usually pay off your original lender and give you a lump sum based on the equity you have in the asset.

How does it work?

1. Select asset: Have an asset to refinance & value how much equity is available.

2. Transaction: The lender will then create a new charge over the asset and you will agree on an interest rate and term to pay the facility over.

3. Payment: Make repayments and exit the lending facility.

How Much Does It Cost?

Because there are a few different types of options – it is tough to give an accurate estimate of cost, especially given the variance of asset quality and business profiles, however a general rule is that refinancing is more expensive than a ‘fresh’ deal via hire purchase. However, the nature of the finance is cheaper than an unsecured loan based on the quality of the security.
